AINU Crafts" is a project launched to create new Ainu crafts that can be incorporated into daily life, in the hope that people will become familiar with the traditional techniques, materials, and designs of Ainu crafts and feel closer to the Ainu people.
The Ainu people, who first settled around the northern part of the Japanese archipelago centering on Hokkaido, believe that everything has a soul, and they have valued coexistence with all things in this world.
We hope you will take a look at and hold these new Ainu crafts, which combine the delicate and beautiful traditional techniques nurtured by their unique worldview with an innovative and futuristic point of view.
